David, Stringstretcher ground the feathers on your latest set of arrows. How do you like his work?

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Did my glue hold or did the feathers all fall off?

Charlie (stringstretcher) is facing some tough challenges so would appreciate the biz if I may make that plug for one our own down on luck with physical challenges beyond his control

That will give you about 9 primaries and 10-11 secondaries.  Give me a heads up one evening and I will meet you somewhere and get them and grind them for you.  You do know who I am don't you?

I can do 5" parabolic.  Is there a specific shape you are looking for?  I just might be able to help you out.

Thanks a lot for the feathers, Stringstretcher!  I like the way you grind the quills, thin and uniform.
